Today's spotlight is on Phoenix's Lewistown, PA clinic. These employees are local to Lewistown and well known in the area. Patients come for the whole experience from the interaction with the PCCs to the treatment they receive from the clinical staff. They've developed connections with a leading Pennsylvania healthcare provider and are an integral part of their pain program. Because of this, they have returned to pre-COVID levels and are quickly outgrowing their space. Team members include Tyler Hess, Clinic Director, Derek Heisler, PT, Halley Parzanese, PTA, Valeria Dressler, COTA, Sarah Wible, PTA/PCC1, Elizabeth Simone, PCC2 and Nicole Hobbs, OT.
